What are the proposed setbacks from the new school to adjacent property owners?
The proposed design of the new school purposefully oriented the building to have public
uses oO away from the adjacent residential areas. A natural preservation area to the north
end of the property limits how far north the building can be adjusted. The proposed south
wall of the classroom wing is currently positioned approximately 150 feet to its nearest
residential neighbor’s property line. Tree buffer zones will be left in place between the
school property and houses on Medallion and Cherrywood.
What is the net square footage area per school?
The net area per school is calculated by taking the area inside of the walls and removing
spaces such as mechanical spaces, corridors, stairs, and restrooms. The net area gives the
space that students and staff utilize for the learning experience. The results of dividing the
net area by the calculated student capacity of each school is: Fairgrounds Middle School —
104 square feet/Student, Pennichuck Middle School — 100 square feet/Student, and the
proposed new middle school — 103 square feet/Student. Slight modifications and
adjustments may take place during the detailed design phase of the project.
